;) | PAID AT ST. VINCENT CROWNED CIRCLE ILLUSTRATED COVERS PERIOD 1852-1866. Price £25 This file manages to illustrate 57 of the known 64 Crowned Circle covers either in part or full b/w, or colour. Two surprises emerge in that when the QV 6d yellow-green issue (SG.2) was exhausted the Post Office could not immediately locate the Crowned Circle and used the ST. VINCENT cds (one instance only), but probably much more interesting is that only two covers are in combination with the fully spelt out SAINT-VINCENT cds which survived the Post Office fire of OC 29 1866, and if my hunch is correct was lost when the "Water Witch", a local vessel, was hired to take passengers off quarantined ships in Kingstown Bay on DE 8 1866. Being an active "work-in-progress" file I hope to add more Crowned Circle covers as they come to light. At the end of this pdf there are 7 QV 1d, 4d, 6d, 1/- "loose" stamps cancelled with the Crowned Circle for you to ponder as there is no explanation for their use.

;) | JAMAICA ILLUSTRATED KINGSTON "A01" ADHESIVE COVERS (325) + later 1860-1902. Price £100 When it comes to auction illustrations the more basic "A01" covers to the UK and USA lose out to those going more exotic destinations like India and Italy, and as a consequence much of this file is still part or full illustrations in b/w, and the better items in colour. This is very much an active "work-in-progress" file (meaning that I am constantly adding information). You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL pdf copy (no refunds, but you are entitled to TWO free updates as and when requested). This pdf has descriptions of 325 entires arranged in chronological sequence which includes mixed countries covers inter-mingled with social history, provenance, dates of shipping disasters etc. Price £100 (no discounts to either trade or collectors as packed with information) payable by PayPal or WISE transfer (ignore Barclays mention at check out as account now closed, and I cannot change, this web shop 22 years old). £100 |
;) | JAMAICA TEXT DESCRIPTIONS KINGSTON "A01" ADHESIVE COVERS (532) + later 1860-1902. Price £180 Perhaps the accompanying illustrations already suggest a vibrant array of choice. Bisects, two country combinations, and even a three country combination! This is very much an active "work-in-progress" file (meaning that I am constantly adding information). You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL pdf copy (no refunds, but you are entitled to TWO free updates as and when requested). This pdf has descriptions of 532 entires arranged in chronological sequence which includes amazing variety inter-mingled with social history, provenance, dates of shipping disasters etc. Price £180 (no discounts to either trade or collectors as packed with information) payable by PayPal or WISE transfer (ignore Barclays mention at check out as account now closed, and I cannot change, this web shop 22 years old).

;) | GREAT BRITAIN used with "A01" obliterator (184) at Kingston, JAMAICA (1858-1860). Price £60 You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL copy by pdf (no refunds, but TWO free further updates can be had as and when requested). 184 covers, a study mostly in b/w, which makes its own statement due the lack of excitement attached to the many 6d packet rate covers to the UK. However, if you think this would be low down on your list for a display, the lack of colour is made up by character, and a fine display can embrace the rare twin "A01", the unique 6d with JAMAICA/SHIP LETTER handstamp to Ryde I.O.W., the 1/- green cover, GB added on incoming transit from Santa Marta, Colombia, mail to the Post Towns, and in addition to the very common 6d packet rates of 3d, 4d, 8d, 9d, 1/-, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 2/-, 2/8d, 3/-, 9/- will be found.

;) | BARBADOS TEXT DESCRIPTIONS OF PRE-STAMP AND ADHESIVE COVERS (2,064) 1656-1899. Price £950 Amongst this extensive listing of 2,064 covers you can have confidence that previously unrecorded new discoveries abound. Barbados has always been very popular with its hand-struck pre-stamp markings, and later colourful Britannia design issues. Many areas can be selected to form an exhibit, and probably everything you expect will be there. This is also a very active "work-in-progress" file (meaning that I am constantly adding information). You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL pdf copy (no refunds, but you are entitled to TWO free updates as and when requested). This pdf has descriptions arranged in chronological sequence which include the numbered Parish obliterators until they were replaced by bootheel design numbered killers in 1863. Many "loose" stamps have margins cut-down and offered as imperforates but this pdf will enlighten you so that you can spot the doctored items. This pdf is inter-mingled with social history, provenance, dates of shipping disasters etc. Price £950 (no discounts to either trade or collectors as packed with information) payable by PayPal or WISE transfer (ignore Barclays mention at check out as account now closed, and I cannot change, this web shop 22 years old).

;) | BRITISH GUIANA TEXT DESCRIPTIONS OF PRE-STAMP AND ADHESIVE COVERS (1,671) 1783-1900. Price £850 Should we feel sorry for the recent buyer at the Spink Simon Greenwood auction who spent £6,000+ on three bogus bisect covers? Having this pdf would have saved him a lot of money! British Guiana, in my opinion, has climbed to the top of the league table in popularity amongst the British Caribbean group, and there are so many reasons why. Perfect for exhibition in so many areas, but I leave that up to you, as you are either interested, or not interested. This is also a very active "work-in-progress" file (meaning that I am constantly adding information). You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL pdf copy (no refunds, but you are entitled to TWO free updates as and when requested).

;) | ST. VINCENT TEXT DESCRIPTIONS OF PRE-STAMP AND ADHESIVE COVERS (1,665) 1772-1908. Price £800 St. Vincent postal history takes you on an epic journey, the third earliest letter of 1772 was written during a campaign against the indigenous Caribs and was placed in a bottle and given to a negro who swam out to a passing boat (the negroes being of differing African origin). After that the str. line ST. VINCENT often written by soldiers at Fort Charlotte overlooking the capital Kingstown, no 2-line, but a 3-line ST. VINCENT followed by numerous ST. VINCENTS fleurons (many with the final "S" excised), we've passed the earliest from Bequia (1797) and Mustique (1805), and now move on to descriptions of the Soufriere volcano (1812) which left the island in darkness for three days, and the devastating 1831 hurricane (thousands dead neighbouring Barbados), thereafter the ST. VINCENT dbl-arc (including 14 in red), the PAID at ST. VINCENT Crowned Circle, the GB used at Kingstown, and then the adhesives including the delightful Duke De Polignac correspondence to Paris, plus the must mention inclusion of both abbreviated types (BAR) and extended types (BARROUALLIE) etc village datestamps (the offices opened 1872).
